I can write this article just days away from the new album. However, at this moment Electric sun is still the latest album of VNV Nation. Another album with an interesting aesthetic: a dystopian fantasy set in the far future.
All the good are dreaming-locked in half-forgotten lore
Proclaiming: "we are free!" and sullenly obey
Is irony a muse, dichotomy embellished...
...in a world that knows no love?
...in a world that knows no hate?
This album comes as a boxed set with a beautifully illustrated hardcover book. I ordered it months ahead of the release date and even made an unpacking YouTube when I got it. I’ve seen the concert twice in different places. All in all, am I now a fan?
